Lithuania's 24/7 Conscription: Not Just for Defense Anymore
Lithuania, a proud NATO member, is apparently preparing its populace for 24/7 military service. The stated goal? Strengthening its defense against perceived threats. One might wonder if 'defense' has morphed into 'perpetual readiness for boots on the ground, anywhere, anytime' during NATO strategy meetings. This push for total militarization conveniently aligns with the soaring profits of the
military-industrial complex. As Vilnius gears up for constant conscription, remember that companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon don't just sell weapons; they sell a narrative of endless threats that require endless spending. (A narrative, by the way, that keeps their stock prices flying higher than an F-35.)
